Dyer selected to fill late husband's
city council seat
by Dolores Hamilton
Iowa Park City Council members have had a busy week, meeting in special session on Thursday and again on Monday for their regular meeting.
On Thursday, the council selected Deborah Dyer to fill Place 3, that had been occupied by her late husband Keith, until the May 6 city elections. She has also filed as a candidate to run for that seat.
Council also accepted the resignation of Parks and Recreation Director Robbie Matthews and authorized City Manager Jerry Flemming to solicit applications for the position.
At the regular meeting on Monday, Dyer was administered the oath of office and took her seat on Place 3. The oath of office was also given to the new City Attorney Tracey Jennings, and Police Officer Derek Vann.
Jacen and LeAnn Scharbrough asked the council to de-annex their property, a 42.09-acre tract at 1980 Johnson Rd.
The Scharbrough's property was part of an 80-acre tract purchased in 2000 to develop a gated subdivision and was later annexed into the city.
According to Flemming, the city annexed the tract of land in 2002 and at that time it was to be developed into a residential sub-division, and that never happened. "The property has since been sub-divided into two 40-acre tracts, although the re-plat has never come before the city that we're aware of," he said. Council member Lori Shierry said "If the re-plat has not been approved, we would have to de-annex the whole 80 acres."
The Scharbroughs said they had not been able to contact the owner of the other 40 acres. They said it would be a financial burden to them and the city to install sewer services that would require a lift station.
Council voted to table the request until they had time to check on the re-plat and confer with their attorney.
A public hearing was held to consider the adoption of an ordinance authorizing the city's participation in the Texas Enterprise Zone Program, and nominating Cryovac as an Enterprise Project.
Representatives from Cryovac spoke to the council about the plant's involvement in the community over the past 40 years. "We've had a really great partnership with members of this community as well as members of the council," said Plant Manager Donald Hebert.
Cryovac is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sealed Air Corporation. They are proposing an investment of $6-million at its Iowa Park facility over the next five years, which is expected to create four positions and aid in the retention of existing positions.
Council unanimously approved the ordinance authorizing the city's participation in the Texas Enterprise Zone Program.
In a public hearing to determine whether the mobile home at 311 W. Crystal should be declared a "Substandard Structure" and abated, Flemming said the vacant house had burned down on Sunday. "It is just a pile of debris, and there will be an arson investigation," he added.
Council voted to abate the burned structure and gave the owner 45 days, starting at the end of the investigation, to clean it up.
In another public hearing the council ordered the abatement of a 1984 Chevy K10 LL located at 310 W. Lafayette.
A resolution was passed in support of RRAH Hawks Senior, LP regarding the Hawks Senior Village Apartment with a proposed location at 1218 Jackson. The resolution also authorizes a local economic contribution toward the affordable rental housing development and authorizes submission of an application for the 2017 Competitive 9% Housing Tax Credit Program.
Iowa Park Friendly Door was given permission to hold a fundraiser at Oscar Park/Lake Gordon and close the unnamed road within the park and permission to close a portion of North Jackson up to 30 minutes for a 5K run for "March for Meals", on March 25.
Council voted to re-appoint Glenn Barham to the Wichita-Wilbarger 9-1-1 District Board of Directors.

Roots are what feed your plants almost everything they need, and now you can maximize your plants' root mass so your plants get optimum nutrition and enhanced flowering.
You do this by using beneficial fungi that accomplishes the following for you:
As you can see, beneficial fungi are a valuable tool you use to maximize your gardens production. But please remember that it matter what type of fungi you use. You need to add the right types of the two major categories of beneficial fungi:
Funny thing is, plant scientists used to assert that endomycorrhiza were the only type of fungi that inserted themselves into root cells, and that the ecto variety stayed outside roots.
New research conducted by our scientists reveals that super-strains of ecto and endo beneficial fungi both penetrate roots, so they have designated these strains as a mega-category called "ectendomycorrhiza."
The good news is that whatever you call them, beneficial fungi form a web of root enhancement called a "fungal mycelium."
It's important to realize there are two processes hydroponics companies can choose from when they want to make a beneficial fungi product.
The most common choice starts when a hydroponics company decides to save time, effort and money by hiring a third-party company to bulk produce/bulk combine microbes without testing them for specific plant appropriateness or microbial compatibility.
Instead of managing the process from start to finish, they outsource their manufacturing, and in the process they forfeit first-hand knowledge and supervision of product components and quality control.
Not only that, but their process includes an overly generic view of fungi. For example, you'll hear their product advertising talk about "endo and ectomycorrhizal fungi." Turns out this is so vague that it borders on actually being an inaccurate way of describing root zone fungi!
It's exactly like saying "General Motors" to describe a car, leaving you wondering are they talking about a Pontiac or a Chevy.
And even if it's a Chevy, it could be a Malibu or Corvette. Ok, if you're lucky, you got the Corvette – but you're still left guessing, because one model of Corvette has the 300 hp motor, but the ZR1 Corvette has a 620 horsepower motor!
The good news is that we make sure our Piranha beneficial fungi are the fully-loaded ZR1 Corvette with 620 horsepower powerplant, not the Chevy Malibu! Here's how we do it…
The bottom line is Piranha increases your plants root growth so your plants' roots are strong enough to give you optimum harvest yields.
What's more, when you get Piranha today, you'll see why it's money back guaranteed to pay for itself by providing maximum yield.
Piranha enhances growth and yield in any type of gardening situation, including soil and organics. It is a 100% organic formula.
It's true that using Piranha with our two other beneficial microbes products (Voodoo Juice and Tarantula) will create fertile, naturally-enhanced root zone for strong plants and maximum harvests.
"I like how you guys are always a step ahead. I used it as a foliar spray and got rid of gray mold that had been bugging me for a couple of crop cycles."
"As a forest mushroom harvester, I already knew about fungi. It's a very amazing life form that can spread for hundreds of yards underground. Thanks for giving me the chance to give myself a mini-fungi network in my hydroponics garden."

Green technology is a theme that might be appropriate to reference the creation of a keyboard and mouse products made from bamboo. The results of this innovation is a computer input device of a computer mouse and keyboard using a wireless connection, where there is almost no plastic materials in the component manufacturer, but using bamboo as a replacement.
Bamboo plants is an option to replace the plastic or the like because this type of tropical plant species are resistant to moisture and has a strong texture so it is not uncommon to find the bamboo used as furniture or home furnishings, and some houses are only built only with bamboo.
Back to our topic about computer device of this bamboo. On the keyboard there are as many as 108 features a button layout QWERTYAS equipped with some shortcut keys. At the bottom there is a membrane keypad for standard switching mechanism and is connected with receiver / micro USB receiver (2.4 GHz wireless).
For the mouse, also uses the same wireless connection with the keyboard, while the use of bamboo in almost all parts of the mouse, not only on the upper side of the mouse, but also on the bottom and the two main buttons. To scroll wheel (scroll) to be the only non-bamboo material for exterior physical appearance, but using a type of artificial rubber that offers the convenience of turning under your fingers.
For the symbols function keys on the keyboard and mouse do not appear in printed form or as commonly arise on other devices, but the uniqueness of the bamboo are all symbols and functions on the device directly over the media carved bamboo. It can add depth artistic experience for its users.
The keyboard appears with a weight of 1020 grams and measures 465 x 160 x 25 mm, while the mouse weighs about 69 grams and measures: 57 x 94 x 35 mm. Both devices are sold in a combo package price of U.S. $ 89.

Refresh Yourself!
Your home should be your sanctuary, but more often than not we find ourselves wistfully dreaming of shoving that "For Sale" sign in the lawn or conducting our dream renovations with those lottery winnings that never seem to show up. Fear not! A minor decor "face lift" can be all you need to spruce up your home and refresh your rooms. Read on for some tips and suggestions that are easy, inexpensive and will undoubtedly help you fall in love all over again with that place you call home.
1In the Kitchen:
Forget back splashes, shiny new Stainless appliances and that granite island. By simply adding some fresh, interesting chairs to your kitchen table you can make a statement and change the look of the space without breaking the bank.
We suggest:
The Bertoia
– Iconic industrial design of the mid 20th century
– A timeless style that suits a variety of decors and is contemporary and classic
2In the Living Room:
If that brand new leather sectional isn't in the budget at the moment, start with a funky occasional chair to freshen up that living space. Upholstered styles can create a cozy aesthetic, or try an architecturally striking design for a more modern look.
We Suggest:
The Hendrix
– A sleek and classic look with a retro twist
– This chair has a ton of personality, without taking up a lot of space
3Lighting for ANY Room:
Whether you need one lamp to light up an entire room or an interesting floor or pendant lamp to create style an ambiance. Good lighting can completely transform a space.
We suggest:
The Buster Floor Lamp
– With an over-sized shade, and full range dimmer, this floor lamp provides both practicality and striking style
The Karm
– Extendable arch looks classy and elegant over a kitchen table to provide a soft, romantic dining experience
– Works well as ambiance or reading light over a sofa in the living room

About the Store
If we build it…
The Dallas store is the world's first energy-positive home improvement store. We proudly broke ground on June 22, 2016 and TreeHouse Dallas opened on June 2nd, 2017.
Lake|Flato Architects designed the building with the principles of health and sustainability in mind. Drawing deeply from residential design language, we wanted to produce the antithesis of a common big-box store. At the start of the design process, we began by tracking the energy use of the Austin store, using that location as a guide to model the expected energy use of the new location. We then quantified how much electricity could be saved through the use of daylight, LED lighting, and heat load reduction tactics. On-site solar energy and Tesla battery storage systems were then designed to support the new store's needs.
The building was also designed around a large legacy oak tree that stands on the property, which presented challenges, but showcases our commitment to design integrated with nature.
The design team at Lake|Flato worked to ensure these engineered strategies were fully intertwined with TreeHouse's desire to make "the most beautiful store in the world." In the resulting design, south-facing saw-tooth roofs are oriented to maximize the effectiveness of a giant rooftop solar array, while also providing an overhang for a deep front entry porch to welcome visitors. This notable building feature solved the need for extra space for solar panels, while also creating a larger shaded area for the comfort of customers. An additional benefit of this building strategy is the reduction of solar heat gain to an absolute minimum. North-facing clerestory windows bring daylight inside to allow minimal use of electric fixtures and to provide exceptional interior light quality. With this tactic, the store can run on daylight until sunset each day. On display at the center of the store is a "power core" where the Tesla Powerpack lives and works in full view, storing the rooftop solar array's power for evening use and allowing the building to return excess renewable energy to the city's grid.

Untranslatable Spanish words are very properly used in the
text, but as long as it is possible to be absolutely correct, there
is no. excuse for the total absence of accents from such words as
bohio, cidula, maravedi, clerigo, ineditos, colecci6n, cimara, fun-
dicion, and every other word requiring an accent. Naburia (on
page 152) appears as naboria on 195. One is correct. Mara-
vedises (174) is' inaccurate. It is to be hoped that the volume
which succeeds this, if there be one, may be written in the third
person, and not in the first. Because it is written in English
and gives a connected history of Cuba in the sixteenth century,
this volume will be of use to the general reader and the class-
room student.
The annual meeting of the Pacific Cboast Branch of the Ameri-

November 30 and December 1. At that meeting two papers of
general interest to students of Spanish-American history were

120 Beats per Minute / 120 Battements par Minute
23/9/2017, 19:45, Ideal
The film that brought a tear to Pedro Almodovar's eyes, president of the recent Cannes Film Festival jury, chronicles a group of people in the 80s who passionately opposed the world's indifference to a powerful and deadly disease. Campillo's direction, imbued with youthful momentum, uniquely combines the collective with the individual and the personal with the political. Campillo presents the audience with an emotional grenade. Winner of the Grand Prize of the Jury at the Cannes Film Festival. In attendance of the director Robin Campillo and lead actor Arnaud Valois.
In his third work as a director, the screenwriter of multi-awarded "The Class" makes a passionate call to arms. His heroes are none others than the young activists of French organization Act Up who begin a desperate crusade meant as a wake-up call regarding the devastating rates of AIDS. Campillo presents us with a genuine rebellious army which is faced with a daily fight not only against society's prejudice and the state's lack of sensitivity but also against the fear of death.
As the action moves from collective and political to personal, the film gradually shows the dramaturgical power it has been accumulating, bursting into a touching declaration of non-negotiable humanism. The young blood roaring in the heroes' veins makes for a vibrating direction which captures a life struggle under the weight of inevitable tragedy. Winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes. In attendance of the director Robin Campillo and lead actor Arnaud Valois.
Director: Robin Campillo
Screenwriters: Robin Campillo, Philippe Mangeot
DoP: Jeanne Lapoirie

Whether it's heart bypass or a tummy tuck, a corneal transplant or a liver transplant, breast surgery or prostate surgery, it's a big deal. All operations, no matter how small, are significant.
But now there is a proven way to go through this with ease. Hypnosis helps you heal your body and calm your mind.
As soon as you schedule your surgery I recommend you get hypnotized to be told that the operation is a wonderful opportunity. And it is. People in third world countries wish for the opportunity to get rid of symptoms and harmful matters. And your surgery will do just that. Your surgery is an opportunity for your body to become as healthy as possible. My favorite hypnotic suggestion for clients anticipating surgery is: You will eagerly look forward to your operation. You will think of it as an interesting adventure. Hypnosis can eliminate anxiety and create a positive, hopeful attitude.
Hypnotic suggestions should include feelings of calmness that will stay with you even in the operating room and the recovery room. Throughout your time in the hospital (or surgical center) you can feel comfortable and content if you are given the appropriate hypnotic suggestions.
In addition to chemicals, known as anesthesia, words, too, can be delivered to you in just the right dosage. Those words (hypnotic suggestions) can influence how your body will respond to medication and how your brain will process pain. It is possible for hypnosis to eradicate pain. It is possible for hypnosis to affect the course of your recovery.
Would you take a medication that promised to make your operation an enjoyable experience and your recovery as pain-free and rapid as possible? Of course you would. That medication is already available. It is hypnosis!

Daily Archives: 27 September 2008
In Memory of Paul Newman
The man with the most beautiful blue eyes in Hollywood died 26 September 2008. We are now less yet one more classic movie actor. Paul Newman died yesterday from complications due to lung cancer at the age of 83.
I shouldn't be surprised that he died. He was, after all, 83 years old. He's battled cancer for a few years now. However, he's one of my favorites and it seems like we've lost so much. There's no actors or actresses in Hollywood any more like Paul Newman or any of the other classic movie starts. He may not have acted any more, but at least you knew that he was still there. He was still a part of our society. Now he's gone. Think about who's left. Robert Redford is 72 and Clint Eastwood is 78. Elizabeth Taylor is 76. I can't say it enough, there's just not that many classic movie stars left and the ones that are left are all up in age.
Some of Paul Newman's greatest movies that he was known for are: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof with Elizabeth Taylor, Eddie Felson in The Hustler, Hud, Hombre, The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid with Robert Redford, The Verdict, The Color of Money and many other great movies. He won 3 Golden Globe Awards, a Cannes Film Festival Award, a Screen Actors Guild Award, an Emmy and an Academy Award. Paul Newman was also a director.
Among his other interests away from the big screen, Paul Newman was a racing enthusist, business owner and humanitarian. He was the co-founder of Newman's Own food company. All profits from that company went to charity. Sources say his donations amount in millions of dollars. Newman also served in the Navy during World War II.
One of his greatest achievements was not his career. It was his marriage. He was first married to Jackie Witte, whom he had 3 children with. They were married from 1949-1958. He then married Joanne Woodward. He married her in 1958 and they had 3 daughters. They were still married 50 years later when he passed away.

At 9:50am, Joe suddenly woke up from sleep, looking at the time, he slowly doze off, resting his head on his comfy pillow, only to be woken up by a phone call,
He murmured some Italian words-you-won't-even-make-up-what-he's-saying-shit . Walking sluggishly towards his phone, picking it up before yelling,
"What sort of trouble do you wanna be on, wiseguy?"
"Hey, Joe. It's Henry."
"Henry? HENRY?! Oh man, do you know what time it is?" Joe yawned.
"Why wouldn't I know? Besides, you're s'pposed to be awake by 8am – but ya didn't, 'wiseguy'."
"Maybe I hit the snooze button more than I should."
"So it seems."
Joe itched his head, trying to think what else he's got to say instead of shutting up, because, Joe doesn't shut up.
"I said stretch."
"Do it."
"Okay?" Joe stood still for a few seconds.
"You done?"
"Who ya kiddin'?"
"What? Henryyyyy, I diiiiddddd."
"Joe, I'm sitting on the sofa on your living room – IN YOUR APARTMENT. Basically sayin', I'm behind ya, and I'm pretendin' to be on the phone, Jesus Christ. For how long did ya stay up last night?"
"OH." Joe gasped, "WAIT HENRY – I gotta hung up now." He continued.
"Sure." Henry nodded.
Joe hung up and sat beside Henry, giving a sheepish grin, "That made me look stupid" Joe cackled.
"Yeah." Henry rolled his eyes. Joe woke up solely, and headed for the messy kitchen, "WHADDYA WANNA EAT?" Joe shouted.
"Christ, Joe! Low down your voice, I can hear ya perfectly."
"Chrrriiiiiiisssstttttt…" The older Sicilian grumbled.
Joe came back with a plate of rambled-eggs and steak after 10 minutes, placing them on the table before Henry, "I MADE THEM MYSELF."
"No kiddin'." Henry smirked.
Joe took a plate and nom'd the shit out of the food, glancing at Henry who was busy looking the surroundings, "Lurk mur hourse?" Joe asked with his mouth full.
"Yeah. A bit too bright and – pink."
"Is thart arnouring?"
"Arnouring? Doesh it arnouy you?"
"No?" Henry answered confusingly, "Joe," he added, "Talk to me after you're done eatin' I can't translate [mouth-full-of-food] language."
"You can't?" Joe's eyes widened.
Henry gave the 'Are you fuckin' kiddin me?' look at Joe.
Joe cracked up.
"So – what are ya plannin' on doin' today?"
"—Other thank killin' people."
"Uh. Sell dru—"
Henry sighed, "I can't believe for a kid like you to do that for a living, c'mon I'll take ya out – we can walk together, waste time, I think."
Joe leaned on close and closer to Henry's ear, whispering, "Are you askin' me out?"
"What? Joe, I—"
"So, you are! Alright, gimme a minute so I can change."
"Joe, we're just gonna walk—"
"—fuck!" Joe chuckled.
"What's goin' on with you?"
"My mind is 80% sex. Now I'll get ready!"
Joe opened the closet, placing his hand on his chin, thinking what to wear for today, "HENRY WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TODAY THERE ARE SO MANY CLOTHES SO MANY OPTIONS O LITTLE TIME!" He yelled.
"What you always wear." Henry rolled his eyes. Again.
"I was just thinkin' the same thing!"
"Isn't that the only thing you wear? Most of the time?"
"But I like it!"
"Sure. Comb your hair, too. Looks like a mess."
"Don't worry, bubba. I know, I know."

There are a lot of long distance trucking companies in Philadelphia some of which are family owned. A few of these companies are tiny but folks nonetheless end up picking them over the big organizations for a number of reasons. Numerous advantages come with working with a local trucking company regardless of the competition from global or large trucking companies that operate in your locality. Here are some of the most common benefits.
The the firms provide work to the locals. If there is something that locally owned companies do for the community is to employ its residents. When the demand for local trucking companies is high, more people are likely to be employed from the community. International companies can come in with their own employees drawn from all over but a local company will concentrate its resources on the neighborhood within. What this means is the trucking company will soon be in a position to hire individuals to serve in several capacities including salesmanship, mechanics, drivers, processors and packers among other duties. Both skilled and unskilled individuals will be employed helping people to earn a living. Consequently, the economy will grow as a result of this contribution from the trucking company.
The cash movement stays within the community. When you determine to pick a local trucking organization for the needs you're contributing to the funds movement remaining inside the community. This is one of the ways to instantly enhance regional economy and immediately being part of it. Using the growth of the local business they are going to be in a position to provide better goods and services thus giving you the best value for your money. Get a quote here!
When individuals pick to constantly work with nearby trucking companies they could aid in its sustainability whose direct impacts are felt. The company does not have to rely on outsiders since it has a customer base within the locality. To add to this, community members also feel like they are self-sustaining and may not need any help from outside. In addition to this the community will also be cushioned from any nationwide recession effects because there is the aspect of money being earned within the community and spending therein as well.
There is growth in investment. Choosing a local trucking business means that you're supporting investors having an interest in the growth of the locality. Most folks who pick neighborhood expense do this from your desire to assist a location to grow economically. They are in a position to achieve this aim with ease because they're members of the same community. Whatever you should do would be to locate a nearby trucking organization you could trust and participate influencing the development of your neighborhood. Get more information here!

The Lea River Park which has been developed by London Legacy Development Corporation and the London Boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets is a major new landscape for London, extending for 3 miles along the banks of the River Lea, from Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park to the Thames at Blackwall, and creating links to the Royal Docks and Canary Wharf.
The Lea River Park, designed by 5th Studio will be the final section in the creation of the 26-mile Lee Valley Regional Park, first envisaged in 1944 to connect the edge of London's greenbelt to the River Thames.
This exhibition hosted by the NLA explores the past, present and future of the project, showcasing current and planned works that are leading the evolution of this former industrial backland.

text: Direct Cost Percent is the actual percentage of revenue that is applied to the cost of the product plus overhead, fixed costs, etc. Direct cost itself is an amount of money which takes to produce a certain good or service. It refers to the total amount of cost after considering everything need to make that good, including the material, labor etc. Administrative expenses and loss of value are seen as indirect costs because they are not so easily calculated. For example, when someone wants to open a fast food restaurant they try to put their costs on paper to see if there is enough money to start the business. Than they calculate direct costs. A direct cost in that line of business would be the cost of the meat in a hamburger, hot dog and similar, as well as the cost of packaging materials and preservatives of the food. Not even with the knowledge of their direct costs could they know the exact amount of money they need to open up the restaurant. However, with the combination of the indirect costs, which are the administrative part of the job. and the direct cost one can get out a direct cost percentage.

This past weekend, I slept by my sister and to my dismay, watched her kids eat granola bar after granola bar. Packaged processed goods. I asked the kids if they thought there was sugar in what they were eating and received a "No, it's healthy" response. It's hard with young kids to get them to make the right food choices but getting them involved can make it that much more exciting, so we made my 6 ingredient raw candy bars. [Get the Recipe].

Birth. Birth day. Birthdays. I always wondered what it feels for a mother to celebrate her child's birthday. I think I'll always look back at that day as "the day that everything changed". One moment I had a baby in my belly and the next, a baby in my arms! Whenever I look back at belly photos I find myself saying "You were in there, and now you're out here!" and it's a trip down memory lane.
I'm writing my birth story because I have the worst memory and I want to remember it in full. I'm sharing my birth story because even before I was pregnant I loved reading other women's birth stories. I found them to be some of the most raw, honest and unapologetic pieces of writing on the internet these days. Reading them shaped my expectations for my own labor and delivery, and they also affirmed that while women have been giving birth since the beginning of mankind, no two births are the same. Learning about the mysteries and magic of pregnancy and childbirth, I started to feel proud to be a woman.
As I add yet another birth to the ether-net, I want to write down certain aspects of my birth story that I feel were a) unique to my experience, b) things I wish more mamas elaborated on or at least mentioned in the birth stories I read.
The superduperlong version after the jump. Here we go....
Ryo himself slipped quietly into the world on a Friday afternoon, 7lbs, 20 inches long and with a full head of dark hair. It was an all natural birth which is what we wanted, but after spending a long labor in the hospital which is not what we expected.
Our "due date" passed by and all was calm. I truly believe babies come when they're ready and I wasn't about to rush him, but the fact that he was past due combined with our intention to have a natural labor had us facing many unexpected decisions in the days leading up to when we actually went into labor. Because we found out I had low amniotic fluid, we had to deal with fetal monitoring, twice refusing to be admitted to the hospital (if we hadn't educated ourselves and been prepared to stick to our resolve, I could not have imagined going against doctors' medical recommendation!), lots of natural induction tactics at home, a membrane sweep, and finally scheduling an induction at the hospital for 6am on Thursday morning...
Allow me to go backwards in time to recap the week up until this point. Please forgive the pregnancy jargon–I wrote this back in June and honestly can't even remember all the definitions myself.
Wednesday, our due date. Aside from the usual Braxton Hicks (false labor contractions), being 1.5cm dilated (which could mean that the cervix is loosening and getting ready for labor), and general enlargement (not a medical term, just a description of my massive size), there was no sign of labor yet, and wouldn't be for another week.
Friday. Visit with my OB ("You're still pregnant?!?") and she scheduled an ultrasound and fetal monitoring the next day to see if everything is OK in there.
Saturday. Ultrasound shows that my amniotic fluid is on the verge of being a concern. [The baby floats around in a sac called the amniotic sac, which is filled with a fluid. When the fluid is low due to me not drinking enough water, or in other cases, leaking or the placenta (the nutrient vehicle from mom to baby) not performing optimally, it increases the risk of labor complications that I won't go into because it ended up fine for us.] I was a 6, and they want to see more than 5. Schedule a follow up ultrasound for Tuesday.
Sunday & Monday. Drank tons of water to try and increase amniotic fluid, and started natural methods of induction to see if we could get labor started. Acupuncture, spicy food, sex, walking the stairs... you name it.
Tuesday. I went to the hospital for another ultrasound, and it showed that I'd lost more amniotic fluid (down to 4.0). They wanted to admit me into the hospital and I really didn't want to be admitted into the hospital yet. I was alone, didn't have my things, afraid of how long I'd have to push back on induction since I had planned on laboring comfortably at home until I was practically ready to push. Our birth plan was already running off course and labor hadn't even started! I took a breather to sit in the car and charge my phone so I could "Phone-A-Friend", in this case, our doula. She talked me through the situation and what my options were, and made me feel confident that I could get what I wanted in this moment. As I looked out at the Berkeley Hills from the parking garage rooftop, I realized that although the external situation was hazy and unpredictable, my feelings never wavered from what I wanted. I went back in and told them I wasn't planning on staying, but I'd like my cervix to be checked so that I had another point of reference in making my decision. The doctor on shift was pretty firm about the risks she believed I was taking in not staying at the hospital and being completely unmonitored–even so far as saying my baby could die, sheesh–but after she checked my cervix and found that I was 4cm almost 5cm dilated (you generally need 10cm in order to push a baby out) she visibly relaxed and was nicer about letting me go home. I'm happy that I listened to my body and intuition that the risk was not immediate, that my son's heartbeat was strong and steady through the frequent contractions I was already starting to have. We were close. I'm going home to prepare. All that before lunch.
Wednesday. Acupuncture, more water, then another OB appt. She sent us to get another ultrasound immediately, and found that my amniotic fluid levels had not improved and they recommended that I get admitted again. I got a chance to speak with my OB and ask her when the latest she'd want me to wait to be induced and she said 6am the next day. So I once again refused admittance and went home with determination because now I had until 6am to go into labor naturally.
Thursday, 8 days post-due and the morning of our induction appointment, I woke up at 4am with regular and mighty strong contractions. They slowed down a bit by 6am, but now I think my body wanted to prove herself, as if it wanted to say, I'm close, don't induce, I can do it myself, just give me a chance. Jason spent a couple hours on the phone with nurses trying to decide if we should go in for the induction appointment or not since we were starting to see regular and strong contractions, hoping maybe I could labor at home afterall. But we decided that since I was seeing the start of labor at 4-5 cm dilated, I was far enough along and we might as well go in to be monitored for the low amniotic fluid just to be on the safe side. Loaded up the car to the brim and off we went!
It was a bright day with a little bay area haze, we were cheery and made a little video in the car. We replayed it the other day and boyyyy I looked ready to pop. As soon as I stepped out of the car I had a contraction that hurt enough that I had to hold onto the ski rack.
Labor. Ohhh labor. On the timeline of my birth story I lump "Labor" as one chunk, and then "Delivery/Pushing" as the other chunk. Labor was intense. I labored for over 24 hours in the hospital before getting checked and finding out that I only progressed from almost 5cm to 5.5 cm. That's 0.5cm in 24 hours. HALF A CENTIMETER. How could I be 4cm dilated for weeks with no pain and then go through so many painful contractions to only progress 0.5cm? How did I think that there could be any logic involved in birth? Idiot!
I had hoped for a zero-intervention approach largely because I wanted to go slow and I was afraid of things progressing out of my control. But at that point of 5.5cm, I agreed to stop leaving things up to time and fate. Something had to be done. While she was still mid-exam, the doctor (whom I believe was the doctor on shift by fate–she was amazing) broke my bag of waters and did a membrane sweep and almost immediately shit. Went. Down. As in, the REAL intensity began. I'd thought things were intense already, but hahhahaha.
What do contractions feel like? Imagine a strong period cramp, but multiply the pain times twenty, and the duration times 5. The area affected starts from the bottom of your ribcage to your pubic bone, and it feels a little like you're possessed. I will say, though, that the contractions are gradual in pain, so take the time to get used to it and it isn't as scary.
The next 2 hours of contractions were as night is to day. I now know that I was entering active labor [cue collective realizing "Ohhhhhh..."]. I was gripping the bedside, punching the mattress, crushing Jason's hand and pretty much moaning at the top of my lungs like a dying horse. I would have been writhing had I been able to move but I was stuck between contractions that came one after another. Thank god for Jason, the amazing nurse and our doula. I'm not sure why but they would remind me to vocalize my contractions in a lower octave. They'd rub my lower back through a contraction and Jason would look me in my crazy eyes and tell me he loved me and that he was right there. You guys, those last few hours were intense.
If I play back the details of the 24+ hour labor prior to breaking my bag of waters, many different scenes flash before my eyes. I remember never knowing what time it was because there were no windows in the room. I originally thought I would want a room with windows because I find comfort in nature, but the windowed rooms didn't have a jacuzzi. Turns out the I wanted the lights dimmed the whole time anyway. I think it helped me focus. The main light source was from electric candles and machines monitoring my contractions and our baby's heartbeat. The soundtrack to my entire labor was Ryo's heart beating, an encouraging beat, and the Calm Meditation Radio on Pandora (we listened to the shit out of that station, I can't believe I didn't get tired of it, though I'm sure my doula and Jason did). We had a larger than expected room which is good because we brought a cartful of things from home. We literally needed a cart. I look around the room in my head and see literally every object as something to lean on in one position or another—many wonderful options of which I took advantage.
Back to the action.
I was moving the whole time. Pacing, leaning, bouncing. I don't remember when exactly we called our doula to come in, maybe around dinner so Jason could leave to go get food, but we started off at the hospital with just the two of us laboring for a good five or six hours, trying different positions we'd studied and some we'd improvised: standing with my arms draped over Jason's shoulders; sitting on the floor leaning against the couch with Jason sitting behind me; sitting on the arm of the arm chair; bouncing on the yoga ball with my head resting on the bed or on my arms up against the IV stand; or my absolute favorite, floating in the hot jacuzzi with candles and music. I had pretty bad back pain later in the evening which happens when the baby's head is pressing against the spine at the wrong angle, so my doula did an incredible belly massage with a big fabric wrap to help loosen the baby out of my pelvis and allow him to reposition himself in a different way. That helped immensely. I'd been told not to eat anything and I surprisingly wasn't even hungry (until after labor when I was FAMISHED), although they had to keep reminding me to drink water. Also, I'd been told by my doula and Bradley Method instructor to avoid the bed at all costs because it's too temping to stay on the bed when you're exhausted, and it's better to be on your feet and keep moving to encourage the baby to move down down down. By the 30th hour I'd used nearly every inch of furniture before moving to the bed because "I really just want to lie down and sleep". Exhausted, I got on the bed on my knees and leaned over a giant stack of pillows and attempted to close my eyes. My belly was large and the monitors attached to it were so uncomfortable that I didn't get much sleep. The contractions in that position suuuucked anyway.
So there's always a twist with these birth stories. Here's mine: I thought I was open to the possibilities of my labor experience, but I had no idea how much expectation I was actually carrying. I wanted labor to be peaceful and enlightening. I had seen a dozen videos on women having these blissful, ecstatically happy births, nothing at all like they show in the movies. I wanted that. I really really wanted that. I actually wanted to have fun, to not scream in pain, to be completely present and to have multiple epiphanies about myself, about life, about God, during my labor. I even made a list of affirming quotes from other women's labor experiences, what I hoped my labor would be like, like "It was the most beautiful pain I've ever felt." High expectations, much? I had no idea what to expect but wanted so much. I thought I was letting go and being open to the possibilities, but really, I was setting guidelines and actually fighting myself.
I remember another quiet moment, seeing an exhausted Jason sleeping on the couch under our heavy deer blanket. Our doula curled up on the armchair with her glasses off, resting her eyes. I was glad to see them taking care of themselves because I wanted everyone involved to be comfortable, warm and fed. I took a moment between contractions to tidy the leftover cafeteria food and drinks on the bed table because I have problems clearing my mind with a messy room. Also known as OCD. I kept cracking jokes between really painful contractions, all the way up until pushing! I am notorious for making really lame jokes so I don't know why I thought that was a good idea to entertain. But seriously, I think that level of concern for my external experience and how I was perceived really shaped my mental and physical disposition during labor in a way that I never intended or wanted. Tentatively watching the monitor to tell me when I was about to have a contraction instead of listening within, caring about how I was being perceived instead of looking within, comparing my strength to other birthing women instead of, yes, looking within...kept me on the surface, and I didn't go deep within to find the calm at the eye of the storm. Despite the disappointments, I own my labor experience as it was.
If I were to do it again, I would insist on no freaking monitoring. Watching the little line start to rise up gave me a false sense of security. Being able to anticipate a contraction and to see how strong it was less useful than being touch with my own intuition and my own senses. And I would probably try a water birth. I know the key is to relax through the contractions, and being in the tub immersed in warmth was the closest I got to "that place" I wanted. It was so relaxing and peaceful, I actually fell asleep in the tub. It was the only time I was able to fully relax during contractions in the way that I had wanted.
What did work for me, aside from the jacuzzi, was a mantra that I made up on the spot. I would repeat "One" as I exhaled through a contraction. Onnnnne, onnnnne, onnnnne. I don't know where that came from and I don't think others understood, but I was reassuring myself "just one at a time, one more, just get through this one". I also liked saying "Open, open, open" with every exhale.
I'll admit, toward the end I didn't think that I could do it. But as soon as I even realized the thought had crossed my mind, my body would give me an easier contraction to deal with. I noticed that happen a few times during labor: when I became doubtful, my body gave me rest to regain energy, whether it was a longer break between contractions, or a series of less strong one, or an entire hour of total relaxation (that was the hot jacuzzi soak; holy mother I cannot express how much I needed that).
When it was time to push, I was a hot mess. Like I said earlier, I was crying out at the top of my lungs, vocalizing the contractions while standing on my feet and leaning over the bed, making crazy eyes at Jason and cussing up the storm of the century. Those of you who think you know me, that might be hard to imagine, but my sisters and husband would probably wave me off and say, Oh, classic Milan, doing what she does when she's giving birth to a human baby.
But seriously, where was the doctor?! The nurses were coming in and out, getting ready, and I overhear that the doctor was in another room giving birth to another baby. In fact, when they called the doctor over their neat little tele-walkie-talkies around their neck, I could hear the other laboring mom screaming in the background as I was screaming through my own contraction. Not what I wanted to hear! (Funny story: a week later I came back to the hospital to take a lactation class and the only other lady in the class turned out to be that woman who gave birth to her son in the same hour that we did!) I also did not want to hear the doctor say that she'll be another 20 minutes. I had to push NOW.
It must have been less than 20 min when she came to the room. Everything was prepped, I was on the bed on all fours, the spotlights were on my nether regions and Jason was right next to me, calming the wild horse that was me. Come to think of it, he didn't have any scrubs or face mask like they do in the movies...hunh.
At this point, it gets a little TMI. It was about 45 minutes of pushing, which looked like me trying to make myself pass out by holding my breath. I pushed so hard that I busted capillaries in my cheeks and broke a vein in my eye. I originally wanted to push without instruction but in the moment I felt so crazed I didn't know what to do. I didn't know when it was going to be over and I couldn't think beyond the current contraction. The nurses and doctors and Jason were so encouraging, though. I let others guide me and went into beast mode, buckling and baring down when the doctor told me to. What does pushing feel like? It feels ...impossible. But when it's over, I felt so triumphant. I knew the end was near. He was about to be here. I could feel the top of his soft hairy head with my hand. I had to push. I had no other choice. It was the only way.
I've asked Jason a couple of times since that day, what do you remember seeing, did you see everything, were you traumatized? He's so sweet and he says it was the most amazing thing and that he was amazed by me (and also fearful for me). One second the head is out, and the next second the whole body slipped out. It did feel slippery for me and suddenly, no pain. That was the most glorious moment of relief. I remember squealing "oh my gooodddd look at him!!" and thinking that I needed to turn down my volume, worrying that I scared him as they brought him immediately to my chest. I looked up at Jason's shocked face and down at our new baby boy's face and we kissed and looked at him together and we grinned. Jason must have cut the cord, and I must have birthed the placenta, and apparently Ryo pooped on me, but I don't remember much else for the next hour. All I could feel was his body weight heavy on my chest and that he was warm and tiny and alive and here.
I do have to say, nearly 10 months since that day, that I am still proud of myself. I may not remember the exact feeling but I know that it was the biggest thing I've ever done. My body shows evidence of what it's been through and what it can endure. My experience was full of awe thanks to the kind nurses and doctors at the hospital for their genuine care and attention during labor, delivery, and three days of recovery; thanks to our doula who kept us rocksteady both physically and emotionally; and thanks to my husband, who changed the first diaper and every diaper after that, who quickly became a master swaddler, who barely slept because he was rocking our son to sleep all night long, with whom I could never never ever imagine doing this without.

First single " LOVE NO MORE " debuts
Collaborating projects with Michael "MH The Model" Henry and my very own C Leon Vibes names.
A lot of my instrumental compositions will be under the tutelage, or direct workings of nationally renowned composers!
I've now written 47 songs and will be posting "samples" of them as I get them copywritten in the very near future... So..
A whole CD project is also under works.
I am also a ghostwriter for hire. I have the gift of being able to write any genre of music and my experiences in this life make the lyrics more appealing to any demographic.
And don't worry [all my poetic critics], the tunes are a lot more... "lyrically listener friendly" than some of the poetry you may consider verbally and socially 'couth' by some of its context. However if I run into a song that requires certain phrases or verbage to express the monotany or complexity of a situation, be it love or negative passion, it will in no way be "mopped up" for you. Thats the reason God blessed technology with the "Skip/ FF" button on your iPod or CD player.
.... But I still love ya!!! HA!

This is amazing convertible 1969 Chevy Chevelle with 572 engine with twin-turbo setup. The black accents and trim are awesome, as well as the painted bumpers and the staggered wheels.
As you can see the door handles, emblems and marker lights are shaved, so this beauty got the Resto-Mod clean look.

Dental Bridges in Burlington, Ontario
One of the best ways to replace missing teeth is a dental bridge. A bridge is a dental restoration that can effectively fill in gaps left by missing teeth and restore your smile to full health and harmony. Bridges use a realistic artificial tooth that stays in place by using adjacent teeth for support. These dental restorations are highly durable, stable, and aesthetically pleasing. Besides stabilizing and strengthening adjacent teeth, bridges allow you to enjoy a wider selection of foods than before. You'll be able to apples, celeries, and many other delicious foods. In addition, they're cosmetically appealing and attractive due to their natural appearance.
Bridges of semi-permanent meaning that only your dentist can remove them; however, they are completely comfortable once placed. If you're serious about improving your smile, contact us at Guelph Line Dental in Burlington to set up a consultation. We're open five days a week for your convenience.

Tekla (Trimble) Construction Management Software
I had a visit yesterday from a Tekla representative who happened to be in the neighborhood. We had a great conversation about BIM, software and people. We had a good laugh when I was showing him my BIM Builder blog and he told me that he was just on it recently looking at my last Trimble blog post, which happens to be posted on the Trimble website, http://www.trimblebuildings.com/news-coverage.html linking to my post "MY TAKE ON THE VICO PURCHASE AND FUTURE OF TRIMBLE FOR CONSTRUCTION".
I guess I must have been right in what I wrote since they posted it. I tried to get more information out of him yesterday, but Trimble is very tight-lipped about future products. I know where they're going, but I'll just have to wait for the new products.
In the meantime, Trimble has an interesting construction management product that fits nicely with Tekla BIMsight. Take a look.

- Manage process information of individual building components, e.g. installation sequence and delivery lots.
- Create your own breakdown structures (WBS) easier and faster, e.g. drawing and NC file packages.
- Use-model based scheduling throughout your project from detailing to fabrication to erection
- Manage clash checks better and faster than before
Organize your BIM
Manage process information with BIM
Reduce the risk of human errors by better control of your production and with less hassle and waste. Connect the 3D model to production schedule and tasks for visual project management: as detailed – as planned – as built.
The Tekla Structures Clash Manager helps manage clashes and collisions. You can remove errors early in the project and offer conflict checking service to the contractor.

LANDOVER -- It took more than four months of negotiations and exploratory trips to Italy and Greece, but forward Tom Gugliotta finally found his way to Washington yesterday, signing a franchise-record, seven-year, $17.5 million contract with the Bullets, including an option year that would net another $3 million.
"It's definitely the longest contract I've signed in my 27-year association with the Bullets," said owner Abe Pollin, who also called the lottery pick from N.C. State "the last piece of the puzzle."
Gugliotta, an all-purpose, 6-foot-10 forward who averaged 22.5 points and an Atlantic Coast Conference-leading 9.8 rebounds as a senior, is regarded by general manager John Nash as the principal new face in his rebuilding plans.

While we won't truly know how draft classes pan out for a couple of years, the Jacksonville Jaguars on paper put together a tour-de-force draft.
If you told a Jaguars fan before the draft that his team would land both the draft's top cornerback (Jalen Ramsey) and premier linebacker (Myles Jack), he would have questioned your sanity.
But that's exactly what happened.
They grabbed Ramsey with their first-round pick, and Jack in the second round.
The reason Jack, a top-ten talent, slipped pertained to concerns about his right knee. Jack, a UCLA-product, suffered a torn meniscus at an October practice. Then reports surfaced that Jack also had cartilage damage in the same knee and might need micro-fracture surgery. This scared a lot of teams, but not the Jaguars.
"He had a great workout for us and you'd never know there was anything wrong with him," Jaguars GM David Caldwell said. "There's no plan for surgeries. There's no plan for any additional treatment. I think we're good to go."
Jack is a tremendous football player and rare athlete.
"Of all the athletes I've been around – just pure athleticism – there's Michael Vick and Julius Peppers. Myles is at their level as an athlete," said UCLA coach Jim Mora.
Ramsey is also a world-class athlete and top-shelf football player. He was by far the best cornerback in this draft. Cornerback was a weakness of the Jaguars last year, and the Florida State-product, who has a great combination of size and speed, should help them immeasurably.
Then in the third round, the Jaguars landed one of the draft's best edge pass rushers, Maryland defensive end Yannick Ngakoue, who set a school-record of 13.5 sacks for the Terrapins in 2015.
And in the fourth round, they added a talented interior pass rusher, Notre Dame defensive tackle Sheldon Day, who displays tremendous quickness for a 293-pound athlete, and a motor that won't stop.
Their fifth-round pick was yet another gifted pass rusher, Montana defensive end Tyrone Holmes, who led college football's 1-AA level with 18 sacks last season. They drafted another quarterback menace in the seventh round with Central Arkansas end Jonathan Woodard, who had 30.5 sacks in college.
On top of all this, they stole Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen in the sixth round. If current starter Blake Bortles doesn't pan out, Allen could emerge as a starting option down the road. For now, he's a quality backup.
"I've been a big proponent of Brandon Allen throughout this (draft) process," said long-time NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah, now with the NFL Network. "He's a coach's kid. He's been through a lot of adversity. Fought through it at Arkansas, and really played well last year. I broke down the tape to the point where I would consider taking him in the late second round, early third round."
It's no secret Jaguars coach Gus Bradley needs to win this year after a pair of substandard seasons. His general manager certainly provided him plenty of ammunition to help his cause.

House Items Eligible Calendars
Video Broadcasts: House | Senate
It is anticipated the conference committee report for SB1, the appropriations bill, will be taken up in both chambers today. SB 1 appropriates $107.8 billion in general revenue which includes $990 million from the Economic Stabilization Fund (ESF), also known as the Rainy Day Fund.
SB 2078 is the school safety bill which had been amended by Rep. Paddie to include bathroom locker room language that was compromise language. The Senate refused to concur in House amendments on 5/25 and appointed the following conferees: Taylor of Galveston, Lucio, Kolkhorst, Perry and Bettencourt. Speaker Straus held a press conference on 5/26, as reported in our HillCo Client Advisory, to note the House will not be going to conference on this bill. In response, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in his press conference reaffirmed his commitment to SB 6 or similar language (such as that in HB 2899) being a must-pass bill of the session.
SB 669 was amended in the House to include SB 2 property tax language as substituted from the House. The Senate refused to concur in House amendments and appointed the following conferees: Nelson, Bettencourt, Birdwell, Creighton and Hinojosa. The House would have to appoint conferees today to keep the bill moving.
SB 80, a sunset bill and a focus in Patrick's recent press conference, is set on the Senate items eligible calendar for today. HillCo will continue to monitor the progress of this bill and discussions as well as monitor any other key bills pending for the remainder of the 85th Regular Session.

Emotionally intelligent people are able to adapt their emotional expression to the situations in which they find themselves. They do not over-control or stifle their natural feelings. Neither do they have emotional outbursts of negative feelings.
Author Daniel Goleman uses the idea of emotional hijacking when people are so overwhelmed by their feelings that they act without concern for their own or others' safety. They are out of control and do not think about what they are doing. Some people even say they have no memory of what happened after they were hijacked by their instincts and emotions. Strong emotions could include fear, anger, as well as the positive emotions of love.

7 Things You Didn't Know About 'Murder, She Wrote'
Murder, She Wrote was a hugely popular show in the '80s and early '90s. Starring Angela Lansbury, the premise of the show was about a woman named Jessica Fletcher, who worked as a mystery writer and amateur detective. The series lasted for an impressive 12 seasons, which aired from 1984 to 1996 on CBS. It goes down in history as one of the most successful and longest-running shows in history! It's been over 20 years since the season finale, so here's a look at 7 things you didn't know about Murder, She Wrote!
7. Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher
As we all know now Angela Lansbury landed the role of Jessica Fletcher and played it well! She earned four Golden Globe Awards for her performance in addition to six more nominations, and numerous Emmy Award nominations. Safe to say we couldn't imagine any other actress in that iconic role, but when the show was first being shopped around that role was offered to Doris Day and Jean Stapleton, who'd turned down the role for "personal reasons."
6. Inspiration
The title "Murder, She Wrote" was not surprisingly inspired by the 1961 film Murder She Said. Not only that but Jessica Fletcher's character was also modeled after Murder She Said's main character, Miss Marple, and the author Agatha Christie. Miss Maple was a hit on British television in the '80s, so CBS used her as a model to bring that success to an American audience.

I was really excited to meet him as I am a bit of a geek when it comes to books......my son is named after a character in my favourite book & once you get me talking about books I love you can expect to be stuck listening to me for quite some time while i construct a list of books that you MUST read. There was a slight element of fear that he wouldn't live up to my expectations which turned out to be totally unfounded. He talked for an hour not only about his new book The Woman Who Died A Lot but about how he writes in general & things that amuse and inspire him. There was talk of bad jokes that he waits years to fit in to his books, ear worms (That song that you hear & just cannot get out of your head), and walking that fine line between silly & stupid, because silly is good, but stupid is awful!
He says that he writes by giving himself dares, such as trying to make a plausible (and not stupid) story out of an opening scene involving a man finding a gorilla up a tree in his Surrey garden. Some of his descriptions of these dares were hilarious & will really add to the enjoyment i get from reading his books. The dare for his latest book was that Thursday's teenage son must save the world by doing nothing at all. I cannot wait to find out how he has made that work!
The biggest laugh of the night came when he spoke about his novel 'Shades of Grey'. Obviously it bares a similar title to the very badly written books that women are going mad for at the moment & it was joked that it was to be re-released with a really cheap dodgy grey cover & placed near 50 shades go Grey in shops so that it could enter the best seller's list purely on accidental sales! For any Shades of Grey fans out there Fforde revealed that there will be a sequel soon as part of a new 3 book deal.
I think the thing that really struck a chord with me though was when he spoke of his struggles to get published . He began writing novels in the late 1980s & each one was rejected until The Eyre Affair was eventually published in 2001(that novel along received over 70 rejections from publishers). He wrote over 10 novels before having one accepted. Although I imagine it was tough it's refreshing to see people work at something because they love & and have a passion for it. So often today people expect 'instant' fame & acceptance for what they do and give up when success doesn't happen instantly. As somebody starting my own business doing something I love I find his story inspiring and a reminder that if you work your arse off & believe in what you do it will be worth it in the end!
Sometimes for no reason other than to amuse myself I get the overwhelming desire to do something highly inappropriate & embarrassing & last night I had to fight from acting on such an impulse. At the end of the talk a chap from the Bristol Literature festival came on stage to announce the 5 winners of a competition reading each name out in a very dramatic way. Everybody in the audience was looking about expectantly to see if there was a winner amongst us........it was then that the urge to leap out of my seat & hysterically scream "I'VE WON!!! OH MY GOD I'VE WON!!!!" then run on stage and hug the man as if i'd won an oscar, hit me! Instead I laughed to myself and whispered to my sister what I wanted to do.....however i didn't whisper quietly enough & the people in front of me asked loudly "What you've won?!". I was still laughing to myself when we joined the very long queue to have our books signed & meet the man himself
However the man himself was happy to sign our books & posed for a picture for me ignoring my sister groaning & looking mortified that I wasn't 'playing it cool' at all! We chatted briefly......which was a mistake on my part as I just blabbered on like a crazy fool about his promo picture not being very good & needing updating........I even managed to slip in the phrase 'av a word' in a slight cockney accent just to add to my mortification! I seemed to lose all sense of charm & etiquette and develop an inability to filter what comes out of my mouth! Despite that it was a pleasure to meet him & I cannot wait to get stuck in to his new book! Now all I need is some spare time to do it!

Click Here to download my Film and Television resume as a PDF. Full CV and references available upon request. Here is my LinkedIn Profile.
I have over a decade of experience in Film/TV, primarily as an Editor and Cinematographer. I've worked on live-action and animation, for projects ranging from feature-films to Network shows, web shows, YouTube Channels, indie films, and local TV at top-20 market stations. Most recently, I wrapped a feature-film as 1st AC and B-Camera Operator for Director Tom Six of "Human Centipede" infamy.
I have an extremely broad skillset, and can take a project from concept to completion with expertise and style. I find that my diverse experience and abilities have helped me in many ways. Particularly, the capacity to understand and quickly work with a wide variety of material and subject matter, and perhaps most critically, I've developed a well-honed creative problem solving ability with approaches taken from my background.
Below are some examples of my work.
"Getting A Shot" - Sid the Science Kid, The Jim Henson Company (Editor, Lead Colorist)
"Skatin' With Dayton, Ollie" - Rogue Planet Art (Director, Editor, DP, Color, Sound)
"Blitz Week" - The Campaign to End Homelessness in Downtown San Diego (Editor, DP, Director, Color, Sound)
"DailyBurn - Live to Fail" - Workout videos (Colorist)

Honey doesn't like pumpkin. Like, he just won't touch it– pie, bread, muffins, cookies, drinks– any of it. So, while I could make pumpkin baked goods (and share their awesomeness with you), they won't get eaten very fast in my house. I'm hungry, but I'm not that hungry. And while I could bring pumpkin goodies to the office, I'd prefer to make something that Honey can enjoy too.
This makes the pumpkin frenzy that starts every October more than a little annoying for me. It seems like everyone else on the Internet (at least in the kitchen communities) is busy squeeing about pumpkin spiced everything, and I cannot tap into any of it. However! There is another home-grown flavor available starting in September and going straight through every autumn. I'm really excited about the other autumn flavor: apples.

Important, please read:
Thank you for your interest in our services. However, please note that as we do not charge per animal or by the weight or size of the animal our charges might seem out of the budget you have in mind for a rabbit or a rat, for example.
With this in mind we now only quote for DOGS, CATS and BIRDS OF PREY. We are sorry if you need a small mammal transported but experience tells us that unless there are 20 rabbits or rats etc people cannot justify using our services.
Security notice:
Before asking for a quote if you have been asked to transfer payment to a Western Union Account, usually for a pug or two or some birds, it is nothing to do with us but a scam currently being operated in Cameroon. DO NOT TRANSFER PAYMENT. We only deal DIRECTLY with our customers and NEVER through a 3rd party.
Please complete the below form for us to provide you with a quote based on your needs.
Please note we do not operate in the same way as parcel delivery companies and our quotes are based on a VIP service for your pet.

ESPN goes off the air April 30, taking with it much of the territory's access to English-language pro basketball, football and hockey, as well as local favorites such as snooker and badminton. As a replacement, Hong Kong Cable is creating a locally produced sports channel and turning an existing sports channel into a round-the-clock soccer channel.
